Modern websites no longer fit the document-centric model HTML was created for. A typical news homepage mixes headlines, images, teasers, and interactive elements in ways the original spec never anticipated. The New York Times even present teasers without headlines at all. This diversity shows how little shared foundation there is for developers today โ€“ and why HTML needs a broader, more coordinated evolution beyond isolated improvements.

Aren't such cases already covered? I don't see the issue or alternative.
